Last night my wonderful hubby brough home the movie 'The Blind Side' with Sandra Bullock ( yes, yes, I know that it isn't "out" yet but we have a couple of 'hook ups' ) .
It is a very touching story . What made the story all that better.. in my opinoin is that it is based on a true story, - a current true story. The acting was great. The movie made us both laugh and laugh and it brought me to tears more then once. It also got me thinking....
Even though I SAY that I don't see color, race, or creed... but .... do I?...
and what did you or even I get from the movie....?
What did you walk away from the movie thinking...?
Here she is a wonderful wealthy White mother who seems to have it all but yet is willing to stand up and fight for a poor Black boy.....
(I honestly don't think that family's of one color taking in children of another color is really all that 'unheard of' or uncommon... it happen all the time and those children are loved and cared for just like the other children of the household)
or did you walk away from the movie thinking WOW... what a great football story....?
I walked away thinking.... what a great story of a loving family who was blessed enough to be able to open their home to a poor kid who had nothing, no one was willing to really fight for, but saw through it all.... just saw the kid for just what he was.... a kid. Would you do the same thing if placed in her shoes? Would you turn the car around and pick him/ her up and make sure that they were taken care of regardless what your friends or maybe other family members were saying about it?
I would like to think I would. I would like to think that regardless of what others were saying or evern doing that I would always turn the car around and pick up that child. I plan on looking up and reading in to the 'real- true life' story of this family but for now I would love to hear what you all think of it....
